Have you heard about the Purple Line and wondered how it will affect life in the DC region?  Or been to Woodlands or Udupi Palace in Langley Park and been curious about the community?  Or are you someone who's fascinated by urban planning and transportation?  If so, our Fair Purple Line education forum is for you!  On February 17th, we're organizing a unique opportunity to help community members understand the sometimes-complicated issues surrounding the Purple Line and associated redevelopment in Langley Park-- once a predominantly Jewish area.  Cheryl Cort, Policy Director at the Coalition for Smarter Growth, and residents of the Langley Park community will be our guest speakers.  They'll discuss what's happening in Langley Park and regionally, share their perspectives on the community, and leave plenty of time for your questions.

We'll meet on February 17th at 6:45 pm at the downtown Silver Spring public library (8901 Colesville Road, a short walk from the Silver Spring metro and many bus lines).  Light snacks will be served.  RSVP to  rabbi@jufj.org so we know how many people to plan for.

Friends and colleagues are warmly invited to attend-- feel free to pass this along to anyone you think would be interested.
